In the frame of a long-standing action of remediation of industrial soil and prevention of water pollution, a monitoring of the drinking water of the Italian town of Colleferro was performed by the ISS. The town has 22,000 inhabitants and is adjacent to a big industrial site where HCH was produced. Industrial wastes were buried in the site, eventually contaminating superficial aquifers, while a canal serving the industrial plant spread the contamination into the Sacco river and thence to the agricultural soil and to cow milk. The contamination of superficial aquifers engendered fears of pollution of the deep aquifers whence the town draws its drinking water. The results of the monitoring indicate that there is no risk for the population from consumption of the water. In one of the wells the ε-HCH was the main isomer reaching a concentration of 66 ng/L: so far the presence of this isomer in water was never reported. The paper also summarily reports the main features of soil and superficial groundwater pollution in the area and briefly describes the main actions taken by the authorities.
在一项长期的工业土壤修复和水污染防治行动框架内，意大利高等卫生研究院（ISS）对科莱费罗镇的饮用水进行了监测。该镇有22000名居民，毗邻一个曾生产六氯环己烷的大型工业场地。工业废物被埋在该场地，最终污染了浅层含水层，而一条为工厂服务的运河将污染物扩散到萨科河，进而污染了农业土壤和牛奶。浅层含水层的污染引发了人们对深层含水层污染的担忧，而该镇的饮用水正是取自深层含水层。监测结果表明，居民饮用该水不存在风险。在其中一口井中，ε-六氯环己烷是主要异构体，浓度达到66纳克/升：迄今为止，水中从未报告过这种异构体的存在。本文还简要报告了该地区土壤和浅层地下水污染的主要特征，并简要描述了当局采取的主要行动。
